The first public appearance since E3 last year is... slightly disturbing. UPDATED with UK release date

A video was posted to the Nintendo Japan Youtube account which serves as the first showing of Devil's Third since E3 2014.

The video shows lead designed Tomonobu Itagaki speaking against a stark black background intercut with game footage. The end of the video confirms the game's release on August 4, and although the game will be available digitally the retail release will be an Amazon exclusive in Japan.

UPDATE JUNE 10: Nintendo UK has announced the game will release on 28 August.

The full video can be seen below from NWR TV:

Yeah baby!

The Japanese retail disc being exclusive to an online retailer is not a vote of confidence from Nintendo.


Still, this is a game that should have faded away upon the THQ explosion. Even if it turns out bad, it's nice to see a beleaguered game finally release.

So...Gamestop exclusive?

Doesn't appear to be a retail exclusive in the UK, the same will likely be true for the US. I smell a small print run, though.

August 28th sounds good to me, I have my eye on this and so long as it is completely and utterly trashed in reviews I will likely be getting it.

I've been looking forward to this game since the footage from E3 2014.  The online multiplayer looks pretty good.  It will be nice to have this addition to the Wii U library after hearing the disappointing news that COD: Black Ops III is not releasing on Wii U.

No idea what the forum just did there.  Anyway, was going to mention that it will be nice to have this in the Wii U library after hearing the disappointing news that COD: Black Ops III will not be released on Wii U.

Y'all listened to the Famicrew dump on this game right?
It looked garbage then, and nothing seems to have changed?!


**Fixed**



"JC represents all sane people on the Famicrew! Despite how silly this game looks, I'm interested. I like these kind of broken-ass third person action games. I'll be giving it a shot, like I did with Yakuza HD collection, which also sucks ass" - Danny Bivens, 2015.
